It is so weird

Mrs.B6302007

to not be going to work this morning when Mr B and all my teacher friends are.

Aww B. Taking the year off? Our teachers had to go back today but I still have a week and a half of freedom left

Mrs.B6302007

Yep, I'm home this year.  I'm so excited but at the same time, I feel a bit out of sorts.  I've never stayed home before and my brain is programmed to think it's time to be in pre-planning.

I remember the first year out of college when I didn't do any "back to school" shopping and it being really bizarre. I'm curious to see who didn't come back after the summer. I'm really hoping my coworker got a different job and we'll have a new person but I haven't seen the job advertised so I think I'm going to have to deal with her another year.

Teachers at my school go back Sept. 1st.  Kids don't start until Sept. 8.
Most of my teacher friends are going back already.  I'm getting anxious - sometimes I don't want summer to be over, other times (like now) I think I'll go out of my mind if I don't get into work soon!

I'm definitely enjoying the time off but yeah, I think I'm ready to go back to work (just not to drive an hour each way). I miss being around people and working with the kids.

Katie, you have an hour drive too?  Sucks, hu?

I leave my house pretty early (6am) and I can get to work in 60 min.  But coming home is about 90 min because of mid-day traffic.  Glad to know I'm not the only crazy commuter.

I definitely understand the feeling.  I have worked since I was 15.. so that isn't new.. but this is the first year I am not going back to school.. and I am 26!!

I keep feeling like I am suppose to be doing something right now.. I can't get over it...

As weird as it feels... you are going to see so many "firsts" as a stay-at-home mom!!
